I wish I could understand the Japanese language...
Yesterday was my day off from work. Normally I would be out and about grocery shopping for my family or hang out in the city with my sister if she's back at home for the weekend. However, there wasn't anything to go out grocery shopping for...and my sister is busy with her work so she couldn't even visit, yet alone to stay over for the weekend.
So there I was spending the whole day at home, doing the laundry, having breakfast, lunch and dipper (dinner+supper) with my parents and scrolling on my phone.
Since I've been searching a lot of SUPER EIGHT (formerly known as Kanjani8) stuff recently, YouTube algorithm provides me a lot of video clips of them in the recommendations and most of them were either not subbed or subbed in another language (mainly Korean).
Having been exposed to the Japanese media at a young age and after years of watching them on and off throughout the years, I find myself able to understand a bit of the context of whatever video I was watching that wasn't subbed. However, I wish I can understand fully what I was watching...and that just made me frustrated for a good chunk of yesterday. Not to mention that I'm currently craving to see more of Kanjani8 Chronicle episodes but a lot of what I found were not subbed, unfortunately. I do intent to watch them even without the subtitles though. It's just that the frustration will probably come again.
Which makes me wonder if I should learn Japanese just so I could watch my favourite shows without relying on subtitles. It is a rather interesting idea, seeing as how I felt like I have stagnated in life in recent years. I feel like I should learn a new language just to get the gears in my head going. At least then, I would be able to pick up a new skill and would reach beyond my current capabilities.
Anyway, this is just my rant post. I'm still working on a few other posts, mainly about the dramas that I've watched. That's all for now, see you all later
